Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
243 words
An interior panel (12) which overlies the surface (14) of a slab defining the inside space of a room to form the interior surface of the room so that a space to permit arrangement of signal transmission cables (74), power cables (70), and electric devices (72,76,78), is formed between the interior panel and the slab surface (14), comprising a plurality of support members (20) set up on the slab surface (14); a panel member (16) supported by the support members (20) and suitably spaced apart from the slab surface (14); and a cable separator (18) interposed between the panel member (16) and the slab surface (14), the cable separator (18) having the form of a plate with a stepped portion (32) at the peripheral edge portion thereof supported on the support members (20) so that the stepped portion (32) faces upward, whereby the space between the panel member (16) and the slab surface (14) is divided into a first space defined between the panel member (16) and the cable separator (18) for the arrangement of the signal transmission cables (74) and a second space defined between the cable separator (18) and the slab surface (14) for the arrangement of the power cables (70); at least one part (38) of the stepped portion (32) of the cable separator (18) being bendable away from the rest of the stepped portion (32) to form an opening (80, 86, 90) for connecting the first and second spaces.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
243 words
An interior panel (12) which overlies the surface (14) of a slab defining the inside space of a room to form the interior surface of the room so that a space to permit arrangement of signal transmission cables (74), power cables (70), and electric devices (72,76,78), is formed between the interior panel and the slab surface (14), comprising a plurality of support members (20) set up on the slab surface (14); a panel member (16) supported by the support members (20) and suitably spaced apart from the slab surface (14); and a cable separator (18) interposed between the panel member (16) and the slab surface (14), the cable separator (18) having the form of a plate with a stepped portion (32) at the peripheral edge portion thereof supported on the support members (20) so that the stepped portion (32) faces upward, whereby the space between the panel member (16) and the slab surface (14) is divided into a first space defined between the panel member (16) and the cable separator (18) for the arrangement of the signal transmission cables (74) and a second space defined between the cable separator (18) and the slab surface (14) for the arrangement of the power cables (70); at least one part (38) of the stepped portion (32) of the cable separator (18) being bendable away from the rest of the stepped portion (32) to form an opening (80, 86, 90) for connecting the first and second spaces.
